Description Joe Baker 2007-01-03 15:07:33 UTC 
What were you doing when the application crashed?
IMAP IDLE Support broken.
I share an IMAP account with several email client programs.  When I read a message on one client, I expect to see it's read status updated on the server immediately and that all IMAP clients will immediately trigger the status of that change.  Evolution is an amazing product, but Thunderbird has trumped it in regards to IDLE support.   I suggest that you open up two thunderbird clients on different computers, connect to the same IMAP account and you too will fall in love with the IDLE feature of IMAP.  Watch the other client as you delete a message.  IMAP IDLE is awsome, so is Evolution but for now our enterprise is using Thunderbird mainly because most of us are running Windows, but I've been thinking of using FreeNX to export the application to windows destkops.

Not a crasher, so downgrading severity.
